A PROPOSAL to redevelop a former theatre site in a prime location could be made to a council within weeks.

But a council could tick off the owner for dragging its feet over the former Pier Pavilion site in Llandudno.

At a meeting tonight, a Conwy Council officer in the report says the site is in a “pivotal position” in the Llandudno Conservation Area and its unkempt appearance and undeveloped condition since 1994 has been an “increasing cause for concern”.

However, the officer says an agent confirms the owner now wishes that a 2011 scheme be considered by officers, adding: “More accurate (indicative) plans are to be submitted in the next few weeks.”

The officer notes that the owner has “so far requested that proposal plans remain confidential”.

Councillors on the special communications, overview and scrutiny committee will decide whether to express “concern... at the lack of further work on the scheme”.

They may also vote whether the latest scheme (based on the 2011 plans) to be informally submitted to officers is re-examined in conjunction with the Design Commission for Wales and Cadw as part of the pre-application planning enquiry process.

If the proposals are then submitted as a formal planning and listed building consent applications, these will be considered in the normal manner by the planning committee.
